Man accused of raping teenage relative can’t be own attorney

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio judge has ruled that a Toledo man charged with imprisoning and raping a teenage relative can no longer act as his own attorney in the case.

The Blade newspaper reports (http://bit.ly/2dYdBV1 ) that a Lucas County Common Pleas judge says she ended Timothy Ciboro’s (SIH’-bohr-ohz) self-representation because of his conduct in court. Court proceedings involving the 53-year-old have been marked by his frequent interruptions and outbursts.
